Opening Fingers from a Fist use dots...

[Stuart Thiessen]

Hi, Philip. I looked at SignWriting_10. If I understand the spelling
rules right, we have to show movements from inside out. If you look at
Valerie's examples under AMAZEMENT, she seems to follows this
approach. So if we do a hollow and filled dot, I think maybe it needs
to be spelled like SignWriting_11?
